1
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5
Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Yesterday after service with Rev. Oko, this song just appeared on my lips and I began to sing it with joy. It was a prayer and a desire in my heart for some time now and more than ever I want to dedicate my whole life to Him.

Frances Havergal called this hymn "Consecration Hymn," yet somehow we all know it by the the first line. It is truly a wonderful hymn. Do you ever think about your hands being dedicated to the Lord? And your lips? And your intellect? It is glorious!

I just got up from a terrible sick, all I could offer to God is a total surrender of my self to HIM. Thanks to this song.
Hello, I was about to pray this morning and the Holy Spirit let me begin to think on this song. I literally prayed on the words of the hymn. I wonder what God was doing in the writer's life for him/her to write such powerful life changing lyrics. I need God now like he/she need Him then.

I just woke up thinking of how I want my life to be consecrated to my Lord and this was a fitting song for my morning devotion. God bless those who have made these wonderful hymns available. God be glorified.

This morning early in my office I was working on a sermon and the words of this blessed song came to mind. It refreshed me and revived my heart and mind! Praise God!

I got so happy when I found this song in English, cause I just know the title in Spanish. I'm sure the Holy Spirit guide me to find it and I rejoice in the God of my Salvation and want to live my life only to Praise and Glorify Him.

The Holy Spirit led me to find this song as I began to pray and giving the Spirit full responsibility over my life and for what ever happens to me. From this day forward, if I live or die it's because Yahweh/GOD permits. When sick I know He will heal because this body is temple or house on earth and He is capable of taking care of His property. So I consecrate to the service of His kingdom, especially in third and final day of His expected return.

I thank my Lord for calling me, for be now His friend. It is necessary for me to thank every day for His mercy and love. After years or searching Him, now I belong to my Lord Jesus.

I enjoy so much singing this song because it is a prayer to the Lord to take everything that we have and are, and that they would be consecrated to Him. Surely the Lord would answer a prayer like this. Lord, may we truly consecrate these things to You!
